I have to apply for my maternity leave at office and honestly i dont know how to word the letter properly. Want it to sound professional but simple. If anyone has done this and can share how you wrote it, that would be a big help yaar.
Please make sure to mention your planned dates clearly and state that you will need a smooth transition. Also, do keep a small window for resting early if your body needs it.
Just write a simple letter to your boss saying you are going on maternity leave from this date to that date. No need to make it too complicated, standard company templates are usually available.
Draft it at least a month in advance to give HR enough time. Clearly state your start date, end date, and that you'll be reachable for urgent queries if needed, though honestly, try to disconnect fully.
Just keep it professional and mention your maternity leave start date. I worked till my 8th month while doing light walks, but make sure to adjust your leave according to what your doctor advises.
